You're welcome. I'm glad it worked for you! Now, which pentatonic scale are you showing in each image? And is the top row the nut or the 1st fret? I'm guessing 1st fret (where the first image is highlighting E's and the second image is highlighting G's).

I believe the Blues Scale is the same as the Minor Pentatonic Scale with an added flatted 5th.

Major Pentatonic Scale = 1 2 3 5 6 8
Minor Pentatonic Scale = 1 3 4 5 7 8
Blues Scale = 1 3 4 b5 5 7 8

The Am Pentatonic Scale is A C D E G A
The Am Blues Scale would be A C D Eb E G A

An example, the Cream song Sunshine of Your Love pretty much walks up the scale as it's predominant riff.

Thank you!

I've been busy with other things since I made this. Hope to get back to it soon.
